What is NatWest CricketForce?

CricketForce is an England and Wales Cricket Board volunteering initiative aimed at rejuvenating the nation’s cricketing facilities.

CricketForce encourages cricket supporters, their friends and families to give something back to their local community cricket club by volunteering to undertake major renovations to clubhouses and grounds.

In 2011 1914 clubs participated in this self help cricket club event to get more volunteers and better facilities.

For 2012 CricketForce weekend is on 30th / 31st March & 1st April – Start Planning Now!

In 2011 49 clubs were involved growing from 38 in 2010 and 24 clubs in 2009 - we look forward to achieving the half century in 2012! 

To support the NatWest CricketForce weekend the County Cricket Club sends out its professionals to the clubs around the County. This is gone down wonderfully well with the clubs knowing that stars of the game are going to visit.
